AFAIK, neither trancoding or nuvexport inherently benefit from
dual processors (not threaded). Having run mythtv on a dual Celeron
300->450 and dual PIII 750->933, I can say that it helps for playability
under load. The playback load is split between mythfrontend and X so it's
"threaded" of sorts. As far as flat-out CPU speed, I don't think it'll
help unless there's other things going on at the same time.

My myth FE/BE combined is a dual proc Intel P3 capable machine. I have
a single 933 Mhz P3 in it now and was wondering if the adding the
second proc would add any transcoding or nuvexport benefit. Right now
I ran an nuvexport and the darn thing took all night to do a 1 hour
show. obviously I don't want to archive my shows at that rate.
I also plan on adding 2 front end machines to work with this back end.
Any comments would be apprecitated.
